once in a while ~ the Walmart is beyond heinous (stinks, doesn't get exclusives, generally looks like it's been air-raided...), and i think it has it's regular scalpers ~ i generally find the Target is "ok" for finding stuff.

Today I hit 4 stores in Lynnwood and didn't find anything I needed (Walmart, Toys R Us, Fred Meyer & Target). I did come across 1 or 2 Crimson Guards and all of the Wave 3 comic packs - but no Wave 6 singles. I still need all of the Wave 6 figures. Walmarts are tough for me to hit and unfortunately that seems to be the only retail outlets they're showing up in. Has anybody seen Wave 6 outside of Walmart?

I have not seen anything at Fred Meyer from the 25th anniversary series. Only place I have had any luck is Walmart and Target and once in a while at Toys R Us. TRU seems to have product that flies out of the store when it opens or soon after, they did have a space for the new 5 packs the last time I went there...but no sign of them.
Talking to the stock worker at Walmart and was told of a male subject that called and asked about GI Joes. They told him they had some and the guy showed up 5 minutes later and grabbed all he could and proceeded to throw figures all over the place, including some of the SW product. So I seem to have a scalper in my area as well....I better get out the long rifle and the scope...

really, i've totally scored at FM, got what i wanted from Wave 4 (just one extra Air trooper so i had 2) and Wave 5 and wave 3 comic packs ~ but they generally only get them ONCE and they sell out in 2 days (i had to go to 3 diferent to secure all the wave 3 comic packs ~ although the last one had 'em all :p ) and on top of that, i got the wave 5ers for buy 2 get 1 free and the wave 3 comics for 20$ off, and shockingly FM was selling the comic packs for MSRP ~ typically they seem to bump prices up a buck or 2 over target. (single Joes are $6.99)

so FM has been good to me lately

in the news thread it looks like wave 6 has started showing up in some targets, but unfortunately it's hard to tell where anyone is from - i keep an eye on the oregon thread too, and no one has mentioned wave 6 aside from Wally-world.
